MetaBody
Our cutting edge deep technology uses two innovations to stimulate the body and the mind
Robotic interface
MetaBody’s robotic interfaces interact with the skin, combining temperature, pressure and vibration to create a realistic tactile experience.

Neuroscience-based algorithms
Our algorithms mimic how the brain merges touch with vision, sound, proprioception and movement to create and restore lifelike multi-sensory experiences.

Soft, flexible and tailored
We use a mix of soft and flexible moulded and 3-D printed touch interfaces tailored to each person’s body and mind for an optimized experience.

MetaBody impact
By combining virtual reality and tactile stimulation, MetaBody has already shown it can create and restore multi-sensory experiences in the real world for real people.
Amputees
MetaBody tricked people with artificial limbs into feeling and using their prosthetic as a real arm, leg or hand, while lessening the pain of a perceived phantom limb.

Paraplegics
Our touch interfaces worn on the arms of a paraplegic patient at the opening ceremony of the FIFA World Cup in 2014, made him feel he was walking. In other studies, our technology restored body perception and reduced pain among spinal cord injury patients.

Illusory presences
Our technology has been used to induce and study complex experiences, such as the uncanny sensations of somebody nearby when no one is actually present.

Our vision
Positively transform lives by merging our physical and digital worlds.
